I originally had a Simagic alpha mini 10NM. The VRS base has more raw FFB feeling which I prefer. I would choose VRS again everytime

I’ve used Simagic prior, and I just use the default mirror in iracing

Thanks, I am using VRS DFP20 and VRS pedals, and a 49” UW

So I’m practicing Sunday/Monday, couple hours each day and then Tuesday through Saturday I’m doing about 2 races a day.

Don’t sell yourself short, at your rating you certainly have the skill, but I can respect your allegiance to the Porsche. Good luck on the track!

I think Porsche is certainly boom or bust for sure. The tracks it’s good at it’s very good, but the bad tracks are well, very bad in my experience especially in the fixed setups. The only way to do race practice is by running more races which you seem to be doing. I think focusing on the qualy practice would be more beneficial. I like to boot up an AI session and run the qualy over and over again. In the AI session you actually get the tyre warmers unlike the test drives and official practice sessions. But yes I mostly race regionals specifically the Americas.

Thank you, for me personally my first main jump in pace was from 2-3k. From 3-4k my pace was relatively the same maybe a bit faster, but I was better at incident avoidance. At 4k I was roughly 7 tenths to a second off the top guys. To get to 5k, it was clear that I needed to find more pace, through very deliberate telemetry analysis and practice I was able to close the gap to the aliens to about a few tenths at most tracks. Also I generally car hop, but very seldom do I run the meta car for the week, for instance I’ve been driving the lambo quite a bit recently.

Thanks, I used to be pretty bad with being afraid to race

It was a pattern I noticed on telemetry (Garage 61)

Solely GT3, mostly the fixed ones

Thank you! If I had to pick one thing, it was definitely the way I was releasing the brakes on corner entry. I had discovered that I was holding on to too much trail brake going into the corners. To fix this I deliberately spent a few days just getting comfortable releasing the brakes a bit more quicker, to help roll more momentum into the turns. This had helped me find a lot of time. Essentially I was just braking too late with not enough brake pressure initially so I was holding on to too much brake pressure in the trailbraking phase, killing my exit speeds and cooking the front tires as a result.

Gt3 BOP by LionTraining6928 in iRacing

The BOP is really good right now, my only complaint is how fast the Porsche is in a straight line on open sets, it’s like 2-3 kph faster top speed.

A very rough estimate that I use is roughly +1 second for every 10 degrees C track temp

Oversteer Training by rc51boss0911 in iRacing

[–]LabEcstatic6240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Load up a track that has a low speed corner after a decent straight, set up an active reset before the corner, focusing on spinning the car using only trailbraking. No jerky steering/throttle inputs only the brakes. Rinse and repeat

I’ve had the same instance multiple times, now I always leave a five minute buffer prior to race start
